The Series A funding will also ensure Panthera has the financial backing to provide pharmaceutical clients and patients with high quality service.
THE LARGER CONTEXT
Earlier this year, Panthera and Rutherford Health launched an oncology clinical trial network for the development of new cancer treatments. The collaboration is called Panthera@theRutherford and combines Rutherford’s UK network of oncologists and Panthera’s expertise in managing clinical trials.
